The present invention relates to a toy or toy playset that includes a housing with a movable door and a movable platform. In one embodiment, the door is placed proximate to an opening in the housing and can be moved between a lowered position and a raised position. In one embodiment, the platform is movably mounted to the housing and is movable about an axis. The door and the platform are configured to be moved at the same time. In one implementation, the platform can be moved as the door moves from its lowered position to its raised position.

The toy playset of claim 3, wherein the toy vehicle is oriented away from the opening in its first orientation and the toy vehicle is oriented toward the opening in its second orientation. 5. The toy playset of claim 1, further comprising: a toy vehicle, the toy vehicle being disposable in a first orientation relative to the opening when the platform is in its first position, the toy vehicle moving to a second orientation relative to the opening as the platform moves to its second position, the second orientation being opposite to the first orientation. 6. The toy playset of claim 1, wherein the platform remains stationary as the door moves from its lowered position to its raised position. 7. The toy playset of claim 1, wherein the platform rotates approximately 180° as the platform moves from its first position to its second position. 8. The toy playset of claim 1, wherein the actuator is coupled to the housing and movable in a first direction and in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the actuator being coupled to the door and to the platform, and movement of the actuator in the first direction causes the door to move from its lowered position to its raised position. 9. The toy playset of claim 8, wherein movement of the actuator in the second direction causes the platform to rotate and the door to move from its raised position to its lowered position. 10. The toy playset of claim 8, further comprising: a first coupling mechanism, the first coupling mechanism being operably coupled to the actuator and to the platform; anda second coupling mechanism, the second coupling mechanism being operably coupled to the actuator and to the door, and movement of the actuator causes actuation of the first coupling mechanism and the second coupling mechanism. 11. The toy playset of claim 10, wherein the actuator includes an engagement portion and the platform includes an engagement portion, the first coupling mechanism includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion of the first coupling mechanism being configured to operably engage the engagement portion of the actuator, and the second portion of the first coupling mechanism being configured to operably engage the engagement portion of the actuator. 12.
